Banking Operations and Customer Relationships
Relationship questions test banker-customer duties, account opening, mandate, nomination, power of attorney, minor accounts, partnership and company accounts, confidentiality, lien and service boundaries.
How to study for JAIIB
Move paper by paper, then mix cases: economy and financial system, branch banking, accounting and ratios, and retail or wealth decisions. Every answer should protect customer interest, bank controls and exam timing.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Banking Operations and Customer Relationships questions reward reading the official India source, role boundary, and stated facts together.
Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.
Concept 2
The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.
Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.
Concept 3
Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.
Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.

Account operations must match the mandate, authority and signing condition on record.
Nomination
Nomination helps settlement but does not erase legal due diligence where required.
Confidentiality
Customer information is disclosed only under authority, consent or legal/regulatory requirement.
Right of Lien
Banker's lien depends on lawful possession, debt and no contrary agreement.
Service Boundary
Branch staff should explain process without making guarantees outside bank rules.
